Reihe: Wiley-IUPAC Series Biophysico-Chemical Processes in Environmental Systems

An up-to-date resource on natural nonliving organic matter
Bringing together world-renowned researchers to explore naturalnonliving organic matter (NOM) and its chemical, biological, andecological importance, Biophysico-Chemical Processes InvolvingNatural Nonliving Organic Matter in Environmental Systemsoffers an integrated view of the dynamics and processes of NOM.This multidisciplinary approach allows for a comprehensivetreatment encompassing all the formation processes, properties,reactions, environments, and analytical techniques associated withthe latest research on NOM.
After briefly outlining the historical background, currentideas, and future prospects of the study of NOM, the coverageexamines:
* The formation mechanisms of humic substances
* Organo-clay complexes
* The effects of organic matter amendment
* Black carbon in the environment
* Carbon sequestration and dynamics in soil
* Biological activities of humic substances
* Dissolved organic matter
* Humic substances in the rhizosphere
* Marine organic matter
* Organic matter in atmospheric particles
In addition to the above topics, the coverage includes suchrelevant analytical techniques as separation technology; analyticalpyrolysis and soft-ionization mass spectrometry; nuclear magneticresonance; EPR, FTIR, Raman, UV-visible adsorption, fluorescence,and X-ray spectroscopies; and thermal analysis. Hundreds ofillustrations and photographs further illuminate the variouschapters.
An essential resource for both students and professionals inenvironmental science, environmental engineering, water science,soil science, geology, and environmental chemistry,Biophysico-Chemical Processes Involving Natural NonlivingOrganic Matter in Environmental Systems provides a uniquecombination of the latest discoveries, developments, and futureprospects in this field.
